Abstract excerpt
The metabolism of sulfamethazine (SMZ) and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) by N-acetyltransferase (NAT) was measured in human colorectal cytosols from 12 slow and 11 rapid acetylators whose genotype was determined independently by a specific polymerase chain reaction. SMZ metabolism was significantly greater in the rapid than in the slow phenotype (192 +/- 22 versus 94 +/- 11 pmol N-acetylsulfamethazine/min/mg...
